    <h1>PyGreSQL &ndash; PostgreSQL module for Python</h1>

    <p><b>PyGreSQL</b> is an <em>open-source</em>
    <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> module
    that interfaces to a <a href="http://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</a> database.
    It embeds the PostgreSQL query library to allow easy use of the powerful PostgreSQL
    features from a Python script.</p>

    <p>This software is copyright &copy; 1995, Pascal Andre.<br />
    Further modifications are copyright &copy; 1997-2006 by D'Arcy J.M. Cain.</p>

    <h2>Mailing list</h2>

    <p>You can join
    <a href="http://mailman.vex.net/mailman/listinfo/pygresql">the mailing
    list</a> to discuss future development of the PyGreSQL interface.
    This is usually a low volume list except when there are new features
    being added.</p>

    <a name="examples"></a>
    <h2>Examples</h2>

    <p>I am starting to collect examples of applications that use PyGreSQL.
    So far I only have a few but if you have an example for me, you can
    either send me the files or the URL for me to point to.</p>

    <p>Here is a <a href="http://ontario.bikerides.ca">List of motorcycle
    rides in Ontario</a> that uses a PostgreSQL database to store the
    rides. There is a link at the bottom of the page to view the source code.</p>

    <p>
    Oleg Broytmann has written a simple example

    database demo</a>.
